Brenda Kay Ledford takes her persistent pen and poet's heart from such wrenching topics as Haitian immigrants and child labor to the joyful sounds of Mother Nature in The Music of Maples and Leatherwood Falls.
-Lorraine Martin Bennett, Author, Cat on a Black Moon; former journalist with Atlanta Journal and Los Angeles Times; previous copy editor, producer, and editorial manager with CNN International; copy editor with Clay County Progress
Like a suncatcher, Ledford takes the harsh light of suffering, the glare of jealousy, the burn of guilt, and the blaze of grief and loss, and transforms them, blends them, into jewels cast on the walls and ceilings of our lives. Her approachable style makes the everyday incandescent and reminds us of the beauty even in the bleak.
-Meagan Lucas, Author, Songbirds and Stray Dogs and Here in the Dark; Creative Writing Instructor at Robert Morris University and Great Smokies Writing Program, UNC Asheville; Editor-in-chief, Reckon Review
Brenda Kay Ledford describes the harshness of human nature. Her image of a rock begins a sequence of behaviors that result from life's challenging encounters. But it is persistence of the trillium that symbolizes hope for the human spirit.
-Carroll S. Taylor, Author Chinaberry Summer, Feannag the Crow, Beneath the Sky and Waters, Ella's Quilt, and An Appointment with the Year-Monger
